He is the lookout on a pirate ship called The Jolly Roger. The captain of the ship is Captain Blackbeard and he makes Pirate Patch and all the other young crew work very hard and he doesn’t give them enough food to eat. Every day Pirate Patch looks out for treasure for the captain, but he never sees any. Then one day Pirate Patch sees a large, glass bottle in the ocean. Inside it is a treasure map. Pirate Patch and his pirate friends escape from The Jolly Roger and follow the map to a tropical island. Captain Blackbeard follows the young pirates, but he is attacked by sharks before reaching the island. Pirate Patch and his pirate friends use the map to find lots of treasure. They are happy on the island – there is plenty of food to eat and now they are also very rich. Background information Pirate Patch and the Treasure Map was written by Helen Parker, an ESL publishing consultant and writer.

He is a very bad man. Pirate Patch is a young pirate on The Jolly Roger. Every day he looks, but he can’t find any treasure. The young pirates work for Captain Blackbeard on The Jolly Roger. They work very hard. Polly Parrot is Pirate Patch’s pet. She is a bird and she can talk. (see page 7 of this Factsheet for the Key words in context) Topics and themes Pets Polly Parrot is Pirate Patch’s faithful pet. What is special about a parrot? (colorful, can fly, can talk) Is a parrot a good pet for a pirate? Why? / Why not? What pets do the students have? What is their favorite pet? Why do they like it? What is special about it? How do they look after it? Sharks Captain Blackbeard is attacked by sharks in the story. What do students know about sharks? Where do they live? What do they eat? What is special about their teeth? The students could find out more about sharks and put together their findings in a poster or mini-book. Opposites The story provides a good starting point for talking about opposites. For example, at the beginning of the story the pirates are poor, sad and hungry. At the end of the story, they are rich, happy and full. What other opposites (adjectives, nouns or adverbs) can the students think of? Some examples might be: day / night, bad / good, big / small, hot / cold. Pirates What do the students already know about pirates? What do pirates wear? What do they say? What do they do? How do they travel? What are their ships like? What pirate stories and movies do they know? Which one is their favorite? Why? (See also Activity 6 on page 5 of this Factsheet.) Friendship and loyalty Pirate Patch is loyal to his pirate friends on board The Jolly Roger and they are loyal to him. They help and support each other in times of danger and share in the rewards at the end of the story. Discuss with the students the importance of having good friends and being a good friend. What are the qualities of a true friend? Treasure pirates are always looking for treasure. Explain to the students what treasure is – objects made from precious metals (gold, silver) and precious stones (coins, jewelry). The students could use this topic as the inspiration for art projects, writing poetry or research to find out more about where precious metals and stones come from. (See also Activities 1 and 5 on pages 3–5 of this Factsheet.) Geography Many real pirates from history were based in the Caribbean. The students could discover more about the geography of the islands in this region. They could also create treasure maps, learn the points of the compass, map coordinates and how to give directions. (See also Activities 1, 3 and 5 on pages 3–5 of this Factsheet.) Healthy eating In the story, Captain Blackbeard does not give the young pirates enough to eat. Why is this bad? Why do the young pirates particularly need to have lots of healthy food? Ask the students what foods are healthy? What foods are unhealthy?

The students take turns to ask and answer, without looking at each others’ maps. The winner is the first student to guess correctly where their partner has hidden the treasure. Materials: one sheet of blank paper / card per student, dipped in cold tea and dried out, or with the edges burned to look like an old-fashioned treasure map; fine black markers; colored pens / paints • After playing the game, display the maps on the classroom wall. • Before the session, prepare the paper / card for each student to look like old-fashioned paper / card perfect for using as a treasure map. • This is a game activity that needs space.

If the student is correct, the other student says Hit! and checks the ship on the grid. He or she then has another turn. If he or she is incorrect, the other student says Miss! and draws a cross in the relevant square, and then it is his or her turn to guess. • The winner is the first one to find all six of his partner’s pirate ships. students are going to design a plate to represent a healthy meal.
